We had lived with a plain tatty bathroom for years so I was excited to design a colourful fun bathroom. I knew I wanted turquoise and aqua tiles, and I’d always planned to create a vanity unit from a mid century cabinet. I added yellow hairpin legs for a pop of yellow (my rooms always have yellow in them somewhere!). I also wanted a contrasting colour too and decided that a raspberry ceiling would add warmth and make the space feel more inviting. It’s now a happy yet practical bathroom!

In a new build home, space and storage is usually in short supply. I had a narrow but long downstairs toilet and wanted to make the most of the space. Therefore I added a deep storage cupboard for coats, bags and shoes. This meant moving the sink and radiator. In terms of the design, I wanted the small space to be memorable so I went for a bold floral wallpaper, panelling and brass fittings.

We created this guest bathroom in our annexe. This part of the house was the Old Estate Office, and I really wanted to keep the Victorian feel of the building. This was difficult to achieve with a modern bathroom, but the Burlington bathroom's traditional look helped along with the addition of panelling and dark wallpaper. The brushed nickel taps and fittings are a real favourite, along with new tiles that have a vintage look. The rest of the rooms will have a gentleman's office feel, and I think this bathroom will fit right in with the whole vibe.

Faced with an uninspiring basic white bathroom that was 20 years old and virtually zero budget, we decided to look at pre loved suites, we found an original 1970s french suite complete with taps and shower for £20 on eBay. We fitted it and complimented it with period correct tiles and created an opulent bathroom, inspired by Biba and Studio 54 on a tiny budget, we absolutely love it

My bathroom revamp consisted of laying my very own hand painted marble resin floor, painting tiled walls and replacing an outdated cabinets with a full length mirror and to really make this a show stopper I gilded the shower walls and ceiling , aged with acid and sealed.

This ensuite was part of a larger renovation we managed from conception to full installation, for our lovely client Amy. This bathroom was formerly an unused guest bedroom - bright yellow walls, twin beds! The brief was to turn it into a luxury bathroom ensuite, connected to the master bedroom, by creating a new doorway into the space and building a 3 piece bathroom suite from scratch.

I wanted my ensuite to be more than just a functional space—it had to feel like a sanctuary, a place where I could unwind in an atmosphere of effortless elegance. The vision was all about quiet luxury, using a refined yet welcoming palette to create a timeless look.
The foundation of the space is a neutral colour palette, keeping it warm and calming. The focal point is my black wall-hung vanity unit, which adds a sleek, contemporary edge while maximizing space. To soften the contrast and bring warmth, I paired it with brushed gold accessories—subtle yet sophisticated touches that elevate the entire look.
A standout feature is the travertine tiles from Italy, which bring depth, texture, and a sense of organic beauty to the space. They add a tactile richness that makes the bathroom feel like a bespoke retreat.
Every element was chosen with intention, ensuring that my ensuite isn’t just aesthetically stunning but also feels luxurious, functional, and personal to me. It’s a space that truly reflects my style while offering comfort and serenity every day

Our bathroom renovation is one of my favourite projects that we have taken on. We ripped out the existing bathroom, lowered the floor which enabled us to get a tall over the head shower. As our bathroom is small and we wanted both a bath and shower we’ve combined these with a claw foot bath and industrial style shower. We’ve also kept the old pull chain toilet and victorian style window in order to keep some character in our 1800’s cottage ☺️

This grotty bathroom makeover took our tiny box bathroom from drab to fab. The previous owners kept it beige with box tiles and grey and black tiles. We turned it into an art gallery inspired bathroom with cobalt blue paint, a window print (as it’s a windowless room), arty accessories and painted grey tiles.
The blue paint is by Yes Colours
Grey tile paint is from Rustoleum
Window print is Richard Wood via The Wrong Shop

When we first did our bathroom, everything was done on a tight budget. We visited a self-build show at the NEC in Birmingham on the final day, and many of the trade stands were selling off display items at discounted prices. Our original bathrooms was made up entirely of those finds! The fittings were all very modern—at the time, I somehow thought that was the direction we were going. But honestly? I hated it.
So when I got the opportunity to work with Tavistock Bathrooms and Easy Bathrooms, I jumped at the chance. It still cost me something, of course, but nowhere near as much as it would have if I’d had to purchase all the big-ticket items myself. I received a generous PR discount from Easy Bathrooms, which helped hugely with the cost of the tiles, shower tray, and screen. That said, I still had to cover all the labour costs—and with everything combined, the total came in well over five figures.
This time around, I knew exactly what I wanted: a calming, spa-like feel with a clean white-on-white colour scheme. I’m not a big fan of tiles, so I only used them where absolutely necessary, choosing the Dune 4D Marble tiles from Easy Bathrooms for a subtle, textural look. The shower screen was carefully chosen to have as little visible metal as possible to keep everything feeling light and open.
Because of the vaulted ceiling, we decided to colour drench the ceiling in the same shade as the walls, which really helped create that serene, cohesive atmosphere. All the core pieces—the vanity unit, toilet, shower, taps, mirrors, and cabinet—came from Tavistock Bathrooms which were kindly gifted, and I couldn’t be happier with how it all came together.

My other half and I recently took on my first full home renovation project which has been something we've always wanted to do yet it took a while to build up the courage to take the leap and go for it. The bathroom was the first room we decided to renovate as it was in the worst condition - picture a dated cracked plum bathroom suite along with a carpeted floor and a lot of dodgy plumbing. I spent all the months leading up to the completion of the house planning out what to do with this room so we could make a start on it as soon as we completed to avoid using the old bathroom. Knowing we were going to rip it out and start from scratch allowed me to play around with new floor plans to reconfigure the room to work better for our needs, along with choosing all the finishes I'd ever dreamed of having! We got stuck in doing a lot of the work ourselves to save money including the rip out of the old bathroom which was really satisfying! The end result is my dream bathroom and it's all the more rewarding knowing we put in a lot of the work to create it - both on the design and sides practical.

This is our main bathroom but as we have an ensuite it is used by my boys predominantly. I wanted something fun and quirky. The low sloped ceilings can make it feel dark so I knew the orange bath would give it the wow factor as soon as you open the door

I really wanted a spa themed bathroom for our ensuite. It was quite a big space so we could have a large shower and a bath. I found an old Danish mid century sideboard for £60 and restored it to use for the double vanity unit and storage. We used light up vanity mirrors for a touch of luxury. The terrazzo effect and green forest tiles make the bathroom look really calm and relaxing.

This bathroom is my favourite space and design that I have done, I love the bold mix of colours and styles - I love the 1930s pink and turquoise bathrooms and that was the basis for my design in here, but I also wanted it to feel contemporary and luxurious.
I originally started my interest in interior design 5 years ago when we started renovating this home. I went on to do a diploma in interior design and now work on client projects as well as my own space and creating content for instagram and tiktok.

This was our first renovation in our home, completed when I was 9 months pregnant! We thought through lots of small details, like having the shower controls outside of the shower area, building in plenty of storage, and even adding a pouffe for the kids to reach the sink and a place for the bath toys to go (in a repurposed laundry basket made waterproof!). It was brilliantly as our family bathroom.

Starting from a perfectly blank white canvas we overhauled this small space to create the maximalist downstairs loo of our dreams! Using this beautiful botanic wallpaper kindly gifted to us by Hovia, we covered every wall, including the ceiling, and painted all the woodwork and moulding in a complimentary rose pink. We even continued the paint and wallpapering onto the storage cabinet and upgraded all the hardware with fun brass pieces. It has been the perfect way to showcase colour and fun in our home and try out wallpaper in a smaller space before braving a lager area

This bathroom was created using space from a storage cupboard. The free standing bath is painted in a bespoke colour created by me called 'Penally Pink' after the house 'Penally House'. The basin unit is an upcycled dresser from our first home with sentimental meaning to us, which was repurposed. We added a white quartz top to it, and added the basins. I love using wallpaper in bathrooms, and this paper flows into the master bedroom. I think a bathroom should be treated the same as any other room in the house. I added vintage art and antique mirrors to this room to give it wow factor.

Our maisonette needed a full renovation when we moved in - new boiler, full rewire, walls and ceilings plastered, etc. - which didn’t leave much room in the budget. To update the bathroom, we painted the ceiling green (who says bathroom ceilings have to be white?), added new flooring, swapped in a new mirror, and replaced the bath panel - which we also painted green to match the ceiling.
I’ve attached photos of the “before” so you can see where we started. I also created a TikTok video (link below) to deinfluence people and show that you don’t need an entirely new bathroom to have the bathroom of your dreams. We worked with what we had, and we’re so happy with the outcome.

The bathroom was once the kitchen. It was a total rip out and start again. We managed to do a school boy error by ordering the bath without measuring and it wouldn’t fit through the door so had to take frame out to get it in. It’s a mix of monochrome patterns with green painted walls and pink accessories.

Honeyed microcement floor to ceiling for superb waterproofing and durability with a wetroom style walk in shower. Accented with brushed brass fittings and a rooflight to allow the south facing sun to pour in. We also built the vanity units build ourselves (very proud!)

Main Family Bathroom (Glebe Farm View)
When we moved in to our house, this room was a small bedroom with the most amazing views over the garden and across the farmland which has been farmed by the families living in this house since it was built in circa 1800. With no shower upstairs when we moved in (just a bath off the main front bedroom), we were keen to add a main family bathroom and this small bedroom seemed ideally placed.
Our daughter will likely be the main user of this room (our son has an en-suite and we eventually will have an en-suite on the master bedroom too), so I was keen to make it something she would love as a girl growing up. We planned a rough layout which included a walk in shower as well as a bath and from this a moodboard. The starting point was the wonderful pink freestanding bath I found and which my daughter fell in love with. From here I considered colours to complement it. Given the view from the room, I was also keen to incorporate something that referenced the house’s history as a farmhouse. Searching high and low for wallpaper that depicted farmland (but that wasn’t better suited to a child’s nursery), I eventually found Farrow and Ball’s “Gable” design which depicts traditional village and farmyard scenes with clean, modern styling. The colourway in “Setting Plaster” worked well with the pink of the bath, whilst the off black large scale statement pattern ensured the room didn’t fall in to an insipid pool of marshmallow tones. I used the wallpaper on the stud wall we built for the back of the shower, and set out to find a vanity unit to go against it. The walls have been painted in “Setting Plaster”. The tiles I found from Claybrook Studio (which I used over the floor and the inside of the shower enclosure) introduce an element of pattern clash and drama whilst keeping a consistent tonal palette.
We replaced the window in this room (we are replacing the windows room by room with like for like wooden sash windows, though the new ones are double glazed). Originally ordered with privacy glass, it was quickly obvious that the bath under the window called for long soaks looking out across the view. The room is not in any way overlooked so I changed the order to clear glass - one of the best decisions I have made.
We have added beaded panelling to the walls to add some depth and interest - all painted in the same “Setting Plaster” colour - we also painted the ceiling the same colour. I have finished the room with brass fixtures and fittings and a number of pieces of art which have significance and fit with the feel of the room. The vanity unit is an upcycled Facebook Marketplace purchase with a marble top to which I have added a simple countertop basin, new handles and a matching towel ring. A comfy chair next to the bath means that, whilst she is still young enough to welcome the company, I can sit and chat to my girl whilst she’s in the bath. I imagine one day she and her friends may sit there whilst they each get ready in front of the mirror (vintage - found on eBay) for a night out. The room has been named “Glebe Farm View” - the name of the farmland it overlooks

We transformed this tired, half-carpeted space into a luxury bathroom, with huge structural changes that now make this room a real showstopper. Removing the ceiling to reveal the original Victorian ceiling beams, and vaulting that ceiling right up to the roofline, allowed us to make the beams an incredible feature in what is usually a basic, functional room. It gives the room an even grander feel, paired with a modern, bold, but elevated scheme of orange geometric tiles, terrazzo slabs, neutral walls, gold hardware and retro teak accents. A large, luxury walk-in shower adds to the opulent feel of the space, with a statement slipper bath completing the suite. All of these hand-selected pieces coming together shows my eye for spatial planning, design and my personal style all coming together to form the best bathroom.

Transformed from a disused storage cupboard we created our main bathroom from scratch. Digging out tons of asphalt from the floor we fitted a traditional bathroom suite with roll top bath into the space, along with the added luxury of heating flooring. Painted in Farrow and Ball Sulking Room Pink the room is a cozy hideaway from the outside world with side lights for a softer touch. The full length wall mirror adds dimension to the room and helps showcase off the artwork hanging on the walls. A favourite room of mine in our home, and even enjoyed by the dogs at bath time!

Why does the smallest room in your home have to be boring? Our shower room was transformed into a vibrant corner of our home with bold blue walls, and geometric fun tiling. We used traditional styled shower, toilet and sink units with a matching towel rail, then popped in some personality with bold tiles, curved mirror and a beautiful globe wall light. Not only is the room fun and practical, it also has a nod of personality with the sink cabinet which I hand painted to make it truly unique. Best thing about this space is the underfloor heating which lets you enjoy it for much longer!

I did this DIY makeover as an homage to my beautiful mum who passed away in February unexpectedly. She taught me about taste, style and interior design, and she loved florals and pink. I wish I could show her as I know she’d love it, so I’m taking comfort in sharing it with the world online instead.
